Definitions

  • This invention relates to multiple access communication systems and in particular it relates to dynamic resource allocation in time division multiple access systems.
  • GSM Multiple access wireless systems
  • a number of mobile stations communicate with a network.
  • the allocation of physical communication channels for use by the mobile stations is fixed.
  • a description of the GSM system may be found in The GSM System for Mobile Communications by M. Mouly and M. B. Pautet, published 1992 with the ISBN reference 2-9507190-0-7.
  • TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Systems
  • PDCH Packet Data CHannels
  • the time division is by frames of 4.615 ms duration and each frame has eight consecutive 0.577 ms slots.
  • the slots may be used for uplink or downlink communication.
  • Uplink communication is a transmission from the mobile station for reception by the network to which it is attached. Reception by the mobile station of a transmission from the network is described as downlink.
  • access to channels can be allocated in response to changes in channel conditions, traffic loading, Quality of Service and subscription class. Owing to the continually changing channel conditions and traffic loadings a method for dynamic allocation of the available channels is available.
  • the amounts of time that the mobile station receives downlink or transmits uplink may be varied and slots allocated accordingly.
  • the sequences of slots allocated for reception and transmission at a mobile station, the so-called multislot pattern is usually described in the form RXTY.
  • the allocated receive (R) slots being the number X and the allocated transmit slots (T) the number Y.
  • a number of multislot classes, one through to 45, is defined for GPRS operation and the maximum uplink (transmission: Tx) and downlink (reception: Rx) slot allocations at a mobile station are specified for each class.
  • a GPRS system access to a shared channel is controlled by means of an Uplink Status Flag (USF) transmitted on the downlink in each downlink slot to each communicating mobile station (MS).
  • USF Uplink Status Flag
  • MS communicating mobile station
  • two allocation methods are defined, which differ in the convention about which uplink slots are made available on receipt of a USF in a certain downlink slot.
  • the present invention relates to a particular allocation method, in which a number "N" of PDCHs (where a "PDCH” uses a pair of uplink and downlink slots corresponding to each other on a 1-1 basis) are allocated for potential use by the MS.
  • the uplink slots available for actual use by a particular mobile station sharing the uplink channel are indicated in the USF.
  • the USF is a data item capable of taking 8 values V0- V7, and allows uplink resources to be allocated amongst up to 8 mobiles where each mobile recognises one of these 8 values as "valid", i.e. conferring exclusive use of resources to that mobile.
  • a particular mobile station may recognise a different USF value on each of the slots assigned to that mobile station.
  • the allocation of uplink slots in the next frame is indicated by the position of the lowest numbered slot that contains a "valid" USF. That is, USF information element takes the value indicating this USF is "valid" for that mobile station. For example, reception of a valid USF in the slot 2 of the present frame will indicate the actual availability for transmission of transmit slots 2...
  • N in the next TDMA frame or group of frames, where N is the number of allocated PDCHs.
  • N is the number of allocated PDCHs.
  • transmission takes place in the next transmit frame at transmit slots n, n+1 et seq. to the allocated number of slots ( N ).
  • N the allocated number of slots
  • the mobile station is not able instantly to switch from a receive condition to a transmit condition or vice versa and the time allocated to these reconfigurations is known as turnaround time.
  • the turnaround time is a concept including both a time required for switching from a receive condition to a transmit condition, that is, a time required for getting ready to transmit, and a time required for switching from a transmit condition to a receive condition, that is, a time required for getting ready to receive. It is also necessary for the mobile station, whilst in packet transfer mode, to perform adjacent cell signal level measurement.
  • the mobile station has continuously to monitor all Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) carriers as indicated by the BA (GPRS) list and the BCCH carrier of the serving cell.
  • BCCH Broadcast Control Channel
  • a received signal level measurement sample is taken in every TDMA frame, on at least one of the BCCH carriers (3GPP TS 45.008v5 10.0).
  • the turnaround and adjacent cell signal level measurement times guaranteed by the network for a mobile station depend on the multislot class to which the mobile claims conformance (3GPP TS 45.002v5.9.0 Annex B).
  • the adjacent cell signal level measurements are taken prior to re-configuration from reception to transmission or prior to re-configuration from transmission to reception.
  • the combination of adjacent cell signal level measurement and turnaround it is noted that there are four patterns of combinations as described later, including the (two patterns of) combinations of adjacent cell signal level measurement and turnaround (getting ready to transmit or getting ready to receive: hereafter referred to as "transmit/receive preparation” in abbreviated terms) and (another two patterns of) turnaround (transmit/receive preparation) only.
  • these combinations are abbreviated as “turnaround (and adjacent cell signal level measurement).”
  • a mobile station operating in extended dynamic allocation mode presently must begin uplink transmission in the Tx timeslot corresponding to the Rx timeslot in which the first valid USF is recognised. That is to say that there is a single fixed relationship in the timing of the downlink allocation signalling and subsequent uplink transmission. Owing to the physical limitations of single transceiver mobile stations some desirable multislot configurations are not available for use.
  • This may be achieved by altering the fixed relationship in the timing of the downlink allocation signalling and subsequent uplink transmission for certain classes of mobile station.
  • there can be a plurality of fixed timing relationships (two in the embodiment below). The timing relationship to be applied depends on the value of the USF and the reception slot in which that USF is received.
  • the invention is applied to a GPRS wireless network operating in accordance with the standards applicable to multislot classes.
  • uplink transmission (Tx) may be advanced relative to downlink transmission (Rx) due to timing advance (TA), although this is not shown in the illustration.
  • TA timing advance
  • the amount of time between the first Rx and first Tx of a frame may be reduced a fraction of a slot from the illustrated value of 3 slots due to timing advance.
  • FIG 1 two successive TDMA frames are illustrated with downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) slots identified separately.
  • the slot positions within the first frame are shown by the numerals 0 through to 7 with the transmission and reception slots offset by a margin of three slots. This is in accordance with the convention that the first transmit frame in a TDMA lags the first receive frame by an offset of 3 (thus ordinary single slot GSM can be regarded as a particular case in which only slot 1 of transmit and receive is used).
  • T tb is the time needed for the MS to get ready to transmit
  • T ra is the time needed for the MS to perform adjacent cell signal level measurement and get ready to receive.
  • T rb is the time needed for the MS to get ready to receive It should be noted that in practice the times T ta and T tb may be reduced by a fraction of a slot due to timing advance. t o is 31 symbol periods timing advance offset
  • a pair of a receive frame and a transmit frame corresponds to each other on a 1-1 basis with a predetermined offset, where transmission is started from a transmit slot having the same number as that of a receive slot in which a valid USF was received.
  • the starting of transmission is done from the next transmission frame of the transmission frame corresponding to the reception frame in which a valid USF is received.
  • the number of transmit slots for transmission in a transmit frame equals to the slot numbers allocated to the transmit frame (N), and slots to be transmitted in a transmit frame are always consecutive. The starting position of transmit slots is maintained until the reception of the next valid USF.
  • a steady state R1T4 allocation (downlink 1 slot and uplink 4 slots) for a class 34 mobile station is illustrated.
  • one slot is for reception and four slots are for transmission
  • a valid USF received on receive slot 0 allows four transmit slots on the next uplink frame.
  • the starting position of Tx slots in the next transmission frame is Tx slot 0.
  • the number of transmit slots to be transmitted is 4, which is the same as the number of the allocated transmitted slots, and these four transmit slots are consecutive.
  • T ra , T rb and T tb each having one slot and T ta having two slots. These periods can be accommodated for this allocation when a valid USF is received in time slot 0.
  • the mobile has uplink slots assigned in the usual way, through the use of USF_TN0...USF_TN7 Information Elements in Packet Uplink Assignment and Packet Timeslot Reconfigure messages.
  • the network sends the USF, however, for both first and second assigned timeslots on the downlink PDCH associated with the second assigned timeslot.
  • the downlink timeslot in which the USF value is contained, and the potentially allocated uplink timeslots (called standard USF and "shifted" USF respectively), and which one should be adopted in the next frame is indicated by the value of the USF.
  • a class 34 MS to which one downlink slot and five uplink slots (TN0 - TN4) are assigned is considered.
  • the network sends USF_TN0 on timeslot 1 rather than timeslot 0.
  • slots marked "B” and "C” provide for T tb and T ra respectively. That is, with this shifted USF, it becomes possible to assign time for transmission preparation T tb (1 slot) and time for adjacent cell signal level measurement and reception preparation T ra (1 slot), which enables 5 slot steady state R1T5 which has been prohibited in the operation illustrated in figure 3.
  • FIG 5 Another example of an allocation enabled by implementation of a shifted USF is illustrated in figure 5.
  • the application is a class 7 MS with three uplink slots allocated.
  • the USF on downlink slot 1 allocating the 3 uplink slots indicates that the first uplink slot available is uplink slot 0 rather than the usual slot 1.
  • This provides for the T tb and T ra periods (as required by table 1) and as indicated in figure 5 at D and E respectively. That is, with this shifted USF, it becomes possible to assign time for transmission preparation T tb (1 slot) and time for adjacent cell signal level measurement and reception preparation T ra (3 slot).
  • the allocation would not previously have been available in prior art for want of a sufficient period for T ra .
  • the 2 slot allocation example illustrated in figure 6 reverts to normal operation i.e. the USF is not shifted. There are no physical constraints in normal allocations for this 2 slot arrangement of figure 6 and the standard USF in time slot 1 allocates uplink slots beginning with uplink slot number 1.
  • step 2 in figure 7 may be explicit (i.e. extra signalling) or implicit (automatic for particular multislot class configuration).
  • the mobile station receives at step 1 an assignment of uplink resources and USF' s from the network. If at step 2, an indication to use a shifted USF is detected then, for the first USF, the second downlink slot is monitored (step 3) otherwise the first downlink slot is monitored (step 4).
  • step 5 when it is judged that a valid USF has been received at step 5 then uplink transmissions are initiated in the first uplink slot from the mobile station (step 6).
  • step 6 when it is judged that no valid USF has been received at step 5 then the second downlink slot is monitored for a second USF at step 7 and if the USF is valid (step 8) then uplink transmissions are initiated in the second uplink slot (step 9).
  • the allocations are steady state such that the allocations shown are maintained from frame to frame.
  • the invention is not restricted to steady state allocations and may be applied also to control of uplink resources that change from one frame to another.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 Examples of state transitions are illustrated in figures 8 and 9. These figures each represent four consecutive frames but have been split for presentation in two top/bottom tiers.
  • Figure 8 illustrates the transition from one uplink slot allocation to five uplink slots allocation, for a Class 34 mobile.
  • the first (top) two frames show steady state operation with one slot and the next (bottom) two frames show the transitional frames.
  • both of the value and the slot location of the USF are changed.
  • figure 8 illustrates a state transition from R1T1 to R1T5. Because a valid standard USF_TN4 has been received on downlink slot 4 in the R1T1 state, the starting position of transmit slots in the next transmission frame is uplink slot 4.
  • the operation of shifted USF is implemented, and the starting position of transmit slots in the next transmission frame (the R1T5 state after transition) is uplink slot 0.
  • the number of transmit slots to be transmitted is 5, which is the same as the number of the allocated transmitted slots, and these five transmit slots are consecutive.
  • Figure 9 illustrates the transition from four uplink slots to five uplink slots, for a Class 34 mobile.
  • the first two frames show steady state operation with four slots and the next two frames show the transitional frames.
  • the USF slot location is constant but the value of the USF is changed.
  • figure 9 illustrates a state transition from R1T4 to R1T5. Because a valid standard USF_TN1 has been received on downlink slot 1 in the R1T4 state, the starting position of transmit slots in the next transmission frame is uplink slot 1.
  • Table 2 In order to implement the invention in GPRS for example a table (Table 2) may be constructed for a Type 1 MS to allow extended dynamic allocation using the principles below:
  • the MS In the case of extended dynamic allocation it is desirable for the MS to be able to "transmit up to its physical slot limit"; specifically, the MS should be able to transmit the maximum number of slots possible according to the limitation of its multislot class, while continuing to receive and decode the USF value on exactly one slot and performing adjacent cell signal level measurements. If it is not possible to define a multislot configuration which permits the MS to "transmit up to its physical slot limit" using T ra , but it would be possible by using T ta , then T ta shall be used.
  • T ra will be used as first preference, but if this is not possible T ta will be used as second preference.
  • a decision whether or not to use the shifted USF is performed by the base station and a selection of T ra , T tb , T ta , T rb is performed by the mobile station.

This information is sent to the Layer 3 protocol unit 216. The Layer 3 protocol unit 216 sends allocation information to the mobile station 100. This information is also sent to a timing controller setting calculator 226.
  • other MS slot allocator 232 receives necessary data from the external Base Station Controller 230 via the BSC interface unit 218, and calculates allocation information for other mobile stations. This information is also sent to the timing controller setting calculator 226. The timing controller setting calculator 226 in turn reconfigures a timing controller 220 so as to perform each of receive and transmit actions towards each mobile station 100 at the correct time.
  • Figure 13 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the slot allocation calculator 228. It is noted that, because parameters Usf, Tra_flag, Tr, Tt, Rxmin, Txmin, and Txmax are the same as parameters illustrated in figure 11, explanation thereof is omitted.
  • step S3000 parameter Usf is set at 0.
  • step S3100 parameter Tra_flag is set into 1, while parameters Tr and Tt are set to values of Tra[class] and Ttb[class] respectively.
  • Tra[class] and Ttb[class] are values of T ra and T tb allocated to class (multislot class of a mobile station), which is an input parameter, respectively.
  • the number of the class is the attribute of the mobile station.
  • the value of T ra , T tb corresponding to each class is prestored in the format of, for example, Table 1.
  • parameter Rxmin is set to the value of Tr as set in step S3100.
  • step S3300 the number of transmit slots (Tx) and the number of receive slots (Rx) is compared with each other. As the result of the comparison, if Tx ⁇ Rx (S3300: NO), the process goes to step S3400, whereas if Tx ⁇ Rx (S3300: YES), it moves on to step S3600. It is noted that each value of Tx, Rx is included in the radio resource control plane data from the upper layer.
  • step S3400 it is further judged whether Rx + Tt is less than 3 + Usf or not.
  • "3" is the number of slots for downlink and uplink offset.
  • parameter Txmin is set to Tr + 3 + Usf.
  • parameter Txmin is set to Tr + Rx + Tt.
  • the value set in step S3100 is used for Tr and Tt.
  • step S3700 parameter Txmax is set to Txmin + Tx.
  • the value set in step S3500 or step S3600 is used for Txmin.
  • step S3800 it is judged whether to end processing or not. Specifically, regarding an identical Usf value, it is judged whether the processing from step S3100 through step S3700 is the first execution or the second execution. As the result of the judgment, if the processing is not ended, that is, if the processing from step S3100 through step S3700 is the first execution (S3800: NO), the process goes to step S3900, whereas if the processing from step S3100 through step S3700 is the second execution (S3800: YES), a string of processing is ended.
  • step S3900 it is judged whether Txmax set in step S3700 is less than 8 or not.
  • "8" is the number of slots contained in one frame.
  • step 4000 it is judged whether parameter Tra_flag is set into 0 or not, that is, whether T ta is used in place of T ra as an interval including adjacent cell signal level measurement. As the result of the judgment, if Tra_flag is put into 0 (S4000: YES), the process goes to step S4100, whereas if Tra_flag is not put into 0 (S4000: NO), it moves on to step S4200.
  • step S4100 parameter Tra_flag is set into 0, while parameters Tr and Tt are set to values of Trb[class] and Tta[class] respectively, and after that, the process goes to step S4200 to repeat processing from step S4200 through step S4700.
  • Trb[class] and Tta[class] are values of T rb and T ta allocated to class, which is an input parameter, respectively.
  • the number of class is included in the radio resource control plane data from the upper layer, and in addition, the value of T rb , T ta corresponding to each class is prestored in the format of Table 1. Incidentally, in this case, upon completion of the processing from step S3200 through step S3700 (S3800: YES), the string of processing is ended.
  • step S4200 parameter Usf is set into -1, and the process goes to step S3100 to repeat processing from step S3100 through step S3700.
  • step S3100 to repeat processing from step S3100 through step S3700.
  • each value of parameters at the time of the end, Usf, Tra_flag, Rxmin, Txmin, and Txmax, is outputted as information.
  • Txmin is set to Tr + Rx + Tt (S3600), and otherwise, Txmin is set to Tr + 3 (S3500).
  • Txmax is set to Txmin + Tx (S3700). Then, if Txmax is equal to or less than 8 (S3900: YES), T ra is used as a period accommodating adjacent cell signal level measurement, that is, T ra and T tb is used as a combination of intervals.
  • Txmin is set to Tr + Rx + Tt (S3600), and otherwise, Txmin is set to Tr + 3 (S3500).
  • Txmax is set to Txmin + Tx (S3700).
  • T ta is used as a period accommodating adjacent cell signal level measurement, that is, T rb and T ta is used as a combination of intervals.
  • T ra may be used or not by the MS as a period accommodating adjacent cell signal level measurement by performing processing from step S3100 through step S4100, and T ta is used when T ra can not be used. That is, in a case where the shifted USF is used, T ra will be used as first preference, but if this is not possible T ta will be used as second preference.
  • step S3200 through step S3700 assumes the processing in step S3200 through step S3700 to be reexecuted once again after step S4100 for each Usf value
  • the invention is not limited to such a case. If any parameters other than Usf and Tra_flag (for example, Rxmin, Txmin, Txmax, etc.) are unnecessary as output, that is, if it is just enough to set Usf and Tra_flag only, the processing may be ended immediately without repeating any processing from step S3200 through step S3700 after step S4100.
  • Usf and Tra_flag for example, Rxmin, Txmin, Txmax, etc.
  • the timing controller 220 is responsible for determining and controlling the timing of the transmission and reception of signals toward the mobile station 100. In accordance with the calculation result of the slot allocation calculator 228, the timing controller 220 controls the precise timing and behavior of the radio frequency modulator 222, radio frequency demodulator 208, baseband data receiver 206, baseband transmitter 224, multiplexer MS 210, and demultiplexer MS 234.
  • a Base Station Controller 230 User data and control data transmitted from a Base Station Controller 230 is accepted by a BSC interface unit 218, and given to a Layer 3 protocol unit 216.
  • the Layer 3 protocol unit 216 multiplexes the data with any radio resource control data, and transmits it via a Layer 2 protocol unit 214.
  • the Layer 2 protocol unit 214 in turn transmits the multiplexed data to a demultiplexer MS 234.
  • the demultiplexer MS 234 provides the data for each mobile station 100 on the correct TDMA slot to the correct baseband transmitter 224. Subsequently, the data is modulated by a radio frequency modulator 222, and then is transmitted over a transmit antenna 204. If multiple transmit frequencies are used, there is one set of radio frequency modulator 222 and baseband data transmitter 224 per frequency.
